With These Hands

With these hands I do the work
No other man should have to do
With these hands I put in the hours
And do what I'm told to do

With these hands and my share of freedom
I will live a better life
And open up a future
For my children and my wife

With these hands, I hold the bible
And I get down on my knees to pray
With these hands, I'm a disciple
And sweet Jesus shows me the way

CHORUS

So with these hands I hold a sign of protest
And fight the best I can
1. And stand up with my brothers
2. And stand up with my brothers … and sisters
And show them I'm a man

With these hands … sweet Jesus
I'm a workin' man
With these hands … with these hands
With these hands … with these two hands

With these hands … I'll raise my family
And teach them Jesus' way
With these hands … I help my neighbors
To get them through another day

CHORUS

With these hands … these two hands
With these hands … the hands of a workin' man, baby
I'm a workin' man
With these hands … sweet Jesus … yeah

With these hands … I'm gonna do what a man should do
With these hands … these two hands
With these hands … I'm gonna do what a man should do
With these hands … these two hands

I'm goin' to the land of freedom
Stand up for freedom
I will live a better life
With these hands … late, late at night
I hold the bible … hold the bible
And I get down on my knees to pray

With these hands
Don't you know sweet Jesus shows me the way
With these hands … these two hands
I'm a workin' man … I'm a workin' man

With These Hands
